I should have said pre 2000.
pipercross filters are PRE (before) year 2000 Dommies

So you should be good to go

Just had a look at there site and sent them an e mail they seem to be just in to cars! But who knows it can get bloody frustrating trying to find stuff for the dommie over here I am just in the proccess of trying to get a rear rim as mine has seen better days and it looks like that will have to come from the UK. The wheel builders don't even have the right size rim over here. Still we struggle on I had better luck finding bits in Bangkok!!!!!!!!!!!

Richard,
Many years ago I found a bike shop in Dunedin, not sure of the name but the Guy was called John Twaddle, it may have been called Twaddle Motorcycles, he may be able to help with some engineering stuff, he made me a couple of exhaust valves for my Guzzi from some Mazda valves. Someone will know him.

Might be useful

I'll look him up I'm only a couple of hours from there. Motorbike shops are very helpful and friendly they just don't have the same amount of stuff available!
Thanks anyway

Hi Richard,
TwinAir do a foam filter for the Dommie.I got one for my mate's '89 year bike a few weeks ago,though it needs a plastic cage/former which they do list but seemed unable to get in time for his trip.I made him one from some stiff fence wire which seems to do the trick ok.Can't remember the exact price but it was quite a bit less than £30.
Jon.
